My friend and NYT best-selling author Ramit Sethi likes making fun of people who think they will never spend, e.g. $30,000 on a wedding. But when time comes, and it’s their turn to get married, they spend it.
我朋友和《纽约时报》畅销作家Ramit Sethi喜欢取笑那些总觉得自己不会花那么多钱的人，比如花3万美元筹办婚礼。但轮到他们结婚的时候，似乎花的也不少哦。
I’m not criticizing spending money on your wedding here. I’m just saying that had you accounted for the“having a big wedding”scenario, you might have saved more in the past, and hence not need to get into credit card debt.
我不是说不该在婚礼上花钱。我只是说如果你已经考虑了一幅“有个盛大婚礼”的场景，你就应该开始节约用钱，这样以后才不至于成卡奴。
